Vancouver, Canada - Ballard Power Systems (TSX: BLD; NASDAQ: BLDP) commends the leadership shown by the U.S. Department of Energy and strongly supports the US$350 million, five-year funding program announced yesterday by Secretary Spencer Abraham to support research grants targeted at making hydrogen-fueled vehicles a commercial reality by 2015. Total funding committed by the government and private industry for the initiative is US$575 million. This funding will assist in the advancement and further development of hydrogen-fueled vehicles and the hydrogen infrastructure, support their commercialization and promote the emergence of a hydrogen economy. “The Administration’s US$350 million initiative demonstrates its leadership and commitment to a hydrogen-fueled automotive future through its support for fleet validation demonstrations which will see over 150 fuel cell vehicles on the roads across North America, with over half of the announced fuel cell vehicles being powered with Ballard® fuel cells,” said Dennis Campbell, Ballard’s President and Chief Executive Officer.

For God's sake - depending on ANYTHING canadian to power ANYTHING important is so stupid. Will someone please call Spence Abraham's family physician and get him a referral to his village psychiatrist? Never, never, never depend on canadians for anything higher in the chain of importance than maple syrup.

Well...I do have a pretty good time when I'm in Calgary for the Stampede.

I believe you have said that before here - and to me! Is that like wearing the same dress twice in the same season? Just asking.

Live long enough, especially in canada, and you will find out that a rodeo and a beer do not a nation make.
